Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

(1) Subsections (2) to (5) apply in relation to an exempt person (“E”) who applies for registration under section 3(1)(b), 14A or 19A of this Act.
(2) For the purpose of determining whether E's fitness to practise is impaired, the Registrar shall accept as sufficient evidence of E's good health a certificate which—
(a) attests to E's good physical and mental health; and
(b) is required of a person who wishes to practise medicine in E's attesting State.
(3) If no such certificate is required of persons who wish to practise medicine in E's attesting State, for the purpose of determining whether E's fitness to practise is impaired, the Registrar shall accept as sufficient evidence of E's good health a certificate which—
(a) attests to E's good physical and mental health; and
(b) is issued by a competent authority in E's attesting State.
(4) For the purpose of determining whether E's fitness to practise is impaired, the Registrar shall accept as sufficient evidence of E's good character a certificate which—
(a) attests to E's good character or good repute; and
(b) is issued by a competent authority in E's attesting State.
(5) If no such certificate is issued by a competent authority in E's attesting State, for the purpose of determining whether E's fitness to practise is impaired, the Registrar shall accept as sufficient evidence of E's good character a certificate—

(i) before a competent judicial or administrative authority, notary or qualified professional body of E's attesting State, and
(ii) attesting to E's good character; and
(b) issued by the authority, notary or body referred to in paragraph (a)(i).
In this subsection, “declaration on oath” includes a solemn declaration.
(6) In subsections (2) to (5) the “attesting State”, in relation to E, is—
(a) the relevant European State in which E obtained his medical qualification; or
(b) (if different) the relevant European State from which E comes to the United Kingdom.
(7) The Registrar shall not accept any certificate referred to in subsection (2), (3), (4) or (5) if it is presented more than three months after the date on which it was issued.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
